The Design Toscano Jolly Hotei Laughing Man Asian Decor Indoor/Outdoor Garden Statue is not just a decorative piece; it's a symbol of joy, prosperity, and wisdom. Standing at an impressive 26 inches tall, this statue invites you to embrace its cheerful presence. Traditionally, it is believed that rubbing the belly of this chubby Buddha brings happiness, while touching his earlobes imparts wisdom and holding the gold in his hands attracts wealth.
I get comments on my Buddah all of the time. He is the perfect size for a small flower bed. Surround him with free Temu lights for special effect. He is resin, but from a distance, no one can tell. He is light and easy to move if I choose too.
Arrived as expected and in good condition. I keep it inside, even though it is likely designed for outside. It's hard to find a standing Buddha statue.
A beautiful piece of art that transposes the room. Calm and serene. A great price for this large piece I have been searching for years to find the right statue. The color is a lovely greenish brown. Really pleased.
It came on time, and packed neatly within a styrofoam package, the statue itself looks nice and smooth, no blemishes or broken parts. Initially, we planned in setting the statue outdoors, but we did settle for leaving it inside next to a window facing West, meaning it gets plenty of sunlight, a little fading on the exposed areas has appeared, but no flaking or cracking.
I had to get the next tallest one the almost 2 feet. Incredibly perfect, the sense of serenity float scout as soon as the box is opened. I'm a practicing Pagan and this makes my soul and spirit sing with joy. Only with the works by these artists does that hapoen! I am home bound, on hospice and my 54 year old daughter has expressed her desire to continue with our tradition . We came from Northern Ireland, County Ulster around Cape Horn and we all lived. This alone was a miracle. The filthy Pagans were forbidden to disembark in New York were refused the ability to disembark Buddha saw to that we sll.lived! This I know. I am blessed with this Buddha at the end of my life and the start of a wonderful.life my child will have with Buddha in her her heart and spirit. Thank you Amazon for this beauty, th as no you and Blessings
Being such an extravagant purchase, I decided to print a small black & white picture of this statue and I put it in a place where I would see it everyday. After a few months, I decided my "need" for this statue was not going away and I made the purchase. I could not be happier! This Buddha has brought into my life a daily reminder of personal meditation time, a time of rest and reflection. He sits at the head of my yoga mat and encourages me to take time with him.The details of the statue itself are very nice, with some texture showing here and there but it makes him so statue-realistic it's amazing! The open upward-facing hands allow you to place crystals or any other small meditation items there for him to hold. I like to sit across from him, Indian-style and place a few fingertips on each of his knees. In this way I can feel as though I can enter into the statue itself and become an empty vessel, which is a very attractive idea when life feels overwhelming.I'd recommend in a heart beat buying this statue because it embodies such peace and comfort of self that none of us should for one moment be without!
We had purchased the same statue years ago in a different finish, and it appears that the new one is of the same quality
